Just a reminder! Even if you can get 60+ mph out of your rig, it isn't a good idea to push them that hard! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_dead.gif" alt="Dead"><img src="speech/icon_speech_oops.gif" border="0">
As has been pointed out before on this esteemed list, 50 to 55 mph is a much...

Yes, my Deuce can do 60 mph! I have it singled out with Michelin Radial X 11:00 X 20's!
To help with the on road manners, I also have installed lock-out hubs on the front axle!
Both of these upgrades have dramaticly improved the driveability of the truck! <img...

P.S. If you go to...

I purchased my Deuce in 2002!

My intention from the very beginning was to restore the truck to Military issue!
My first thought was to restore a Deuce to...

How to prevent having to replace blown axle seals!
Remove and clean the axle vents!
Keep them from getting dirty and clogged up!
On a road trip, it can create enough pressure to pop the seals! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_evil.gif" alt="Evil">...
Safety Tip!
I wanted more visibility for the rear of my Deuce! I also wanted to keep the Military look of the truck!
Here is what I came up with!
First I went out to a truck parts supplier, and purchased a reflective strip kit for semi-trailers, (alternating red and silver)
Then I found...
Sarge!
I should have made clear that this was meant to be used out in the field, (COMBAT), or on the side of the road! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_evil.gif" alt="Evil">
If you have access to better equipment and methods, by all means use them! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif"...
This will be a place to post tips and tricks pertaining to the M35A2's, M109A2's and other variations of the M44 series trucks!
